What came off the space shuttle?

[Docfeelgood]

I watched the launch of the space shuttle and saw something that looked like tiles falling off. Did anyone else see this? I have not seen anything in the news.

I didn't watch but normally that would be condensation that freezes on the tanks I think?

[Docfeelgood]

They looked like black tiles to me. The ice or foam is usually white these were black geometric shapes.
that is why I was wondering if anyone else saw them.

Prob nothing

Don't tiles come off with every launch?

[Docfeelgood]

Yep, found a vid that shows the foam comming off hitting the shuttel. Looks like no damage was done.

at the 7:40 mark

So there's nothing to see here (again)?

I don't think it would be in NASA's best interests to have the last shuttle flights fail so I really don't think anything will go wrong.
